The Action Pack

I recently uploaded some photos of a new Ska band in Louisville – The Action Pack. The show was in the basement of The House Of Wax off Dixie Highway in Louisville’s southend. Check out the photos and keep your eyes out for some videos that will be popping up on Youtube.

Security Innovations

Security Innovations, a surveillance and security firm in Ohio, has received a new site. Validation for HTML 5, some CSS 3 add-ons (which unfortunately are the only thing preventing validation), and built w/ PHP, the new site is available for you to view at anytime. It uses a little javascript for the rotating banner on the homepage, and has some flash animations on some of the interior pages. Videos are embedded on the Video page utilizing Flowplayer.

Maverick Wine Gifts.com

I recently worked on a new site design (as well as some branding for new wines) for Maverick Wine Group’s new http://www.maverickwinegifts.com/. The site design was completed by myself, and I also coded the homepage. The store pages were coded by and are provided by Nexternal.com.

Xerxes, Mountain Asleep, Rattletooth

I shot some more photos of Xerxes, Mountain Asleep, and Rattletooth not long ago. I’ve put them up on my Flickr account if you’d like to check them out!

If you’d like a direct link to the set, here you go – http://www.flickr.com/photos/flexyournoggin/sets/72157622543060355/ It’d be great if they upped the ability of their URL system to show the set name in there. If you just want 5 random samples, I can do that too:

Louisville Web Group recently made the new Neikirk Mahoney site live, featuring photography work that I did. While I mainly shot portraits for each employee, I also took some shots around the office and outside that show up across the site, mainly in the intro flash animation on the homepage.

Kentucky Wines

The new Kentucky Wines site has launched! I can’t take design credit for this one, but I can take coding credit for it, with Ryan Matteson doing the Flash and taking care of changes from the client. This is a Wordpress based site.

Hey Clients!

We aren’t picking on you. Really. But when considering a designer and/or developer for your project, it’s important to have some things figured out first.
I came across a post this morning that, in a joking way, is a good example. Written by Neil Middleton, it takes the all-too usual software building experiences and applies them to architecture. What if the same considerations expected of us by clients were dictated to someone building a new house? It’d be a mess, really.

Brother Doubt – The Double Greatest

bryan — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 20:09:50 +0000

Brother Doubt is releasing their first “full-length” CD (does “full-length” even really apply to CDs or digital releases as it’s a term coined for vinyl records?) in a few weeks. Unsurprisingly, since I’m in the band and all, I put together the artwork for the CD. Titled “The Double Greatest” after one of the songs, which is about Muhammad Ali, the disc will see 11 tracks. It was recorded by Trip at Studio K in late April/early May 2009.

The CD was released during a show at Skull Alley on August 21st, with 50+ CDs to be given out at the door.

Site update

bryan — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:19:32 +0000

Well, I haven’t found time to update the site yet. I was shooting to get it done over the past weekend, but was covered up with last-minute updates prepping the Brother Doubt CD to go to print as well as working on some really cool wedding invitations. I’ve also been brainstorming on ideas for the new Olympia Three CD design and marketing campaign.
Anyway, I have my mockup(s) completed, and I’m going to start cutting it all up here in the next two days. The BD CD comes out tomorrow!!!! and the first 50 people through the door at Skull Alley will get a free copy. So I have a lot to do before I can dig back into the site. Looks like Saturday will be a very busy day!

Waverly Hills Sanitorium mockups

In mid 2008, Waverly Hills contacted Louisville Web Group in regards to setting up a streaming video site. The idea was to take the security cameras around the property, and offer them online for a small fee. The hope was that ghost hunters around the world would pay to log on and make the project lucrative. At the same time, the owners were working to secure extra funding to turn the dilapidated property into a 5-star hotel with a 5-star restaurant, while preserving the 4th floor (reputedly the most haunted) for ghost-hunting tours and activities. As the project grew and shifted in scope, we realized that we would need a massive amount of bandwidth to stream these cameras live. We put together quite a bit of research on bandwith fees, abilities, and why this was even needed in the first place. While this was going on, talks also began in regards to redesigning the main Waverly site to mesh with the new video components. Which in turn lead to talk about getting their giftshop online. We signed off, and with Halloween fast approaching, I popped out the designs seen below.

Unfortunately, none of the projects went anywhere, and these designs will never be used. Before the halt, the first two images were approved, and I began coding them into a wordpress theme as well as an OsCommerce theme. The video area was going to be custom built to interface with both of the aforementioned platforms via plugins/add-ons. I’m presenting the mockups here to catalog at least some of the massive amount of work that I poured into the project before it was ghostbusted.
